An owner invested 180000 in a new family-style restaurant


An owner invested $180,000 in a new family-style restaurant, of which $160,000 was immediately used to purchase equipment and $20,000 was retained for working cash. Estimates for the first year of business are as follows:

-Menu selling prices to be established to give a mark-up of 150 percent over cost of food sold

-Variable wages, 28 percent of revenue

-Fixed wages, $51,600 other variable costs, 7 percent of revenue

-Rent, $36,000

-Insurance, $4,800

-Depreciation on equipment, 20 percent

-Return on investment desired, 12 percent

-Income tax rate, 30 percent.

 

The restaurant has 60 seats and is open 5 days a week for lunch and dinner only. Lunch revenue is expected to be 40 percent of total volume with 2 seat turnovers. Dinner revenue will be 60 percent of total volume, with 1.25 turnovers. Calculate the average check per meal period that will cover all costs, including desired return on investment.
